BIOL122 emphasizes the scientific method, natural selection and evolutionary theory, diversity of life (viruses, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals), anatomy and physiology of life, and ecological principles. Laboratories will introduce basic biological techniques and reinforce lecture principles through hands-on exploration. Students will write a scientific lab report and explore connections to current scientific news.
